The motion passed unanimously (among those present), despite some reservations on the part of two NCSG Councillors.

MOTION – To approve a charter for the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information PDP Working Group: On 13 June 2013 the GNSO Council initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information and decided to create a PDP Working Group for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of the PDP.  Following a call for volunteers, a Drafting Team was formed and its members have developed a charter for consideration by the GNSO Council.  The drafting team has submitted the charter and so the GNSO Council, having reviewed the charter, will vote on whether to approve it as submitted by the Drafting Team.

This motion was deferred from the last meeting with the understanding that the concerns were raised and discussed prior to this meeting. That was not done, but the concerns were raised at this meeting. They include the need to widen the charter to look at issues of whether such translation and transliteration is needed, who should pay for it, and several other issues.

I pointed out that in the absence of rules, registries and registrars have no basis on which to present IDN registration data in a 7-bit ASCII WHOIS system, The motion was voluntarily withdrawn to allow the charter to be reworked and resubmitted for the Buenos Aires meeting.
